DMs, do your players drive you crazy? Do they treat your monsters as nothing more than another rung in the ol’ XP ladder? Well, put a stop to that nonsense and drive your players crazy for a change…hell, push them right over the edge of gibbering insanity. That’s right, with the newest offering from Blackdirge Publishing and Goodman Games, you can harness the raving lunacy of H.P. Lovecraft’s tales of terror and the supernatural for your Fourth Edition Dungeons & Dragons game.

So dispense with the mundane kobolds, goblins, and orcs, and populate your next dungeon with elder things and shoggoths. Or, the next time your PCs set sail, have them bump into a slime-coated island covered with ancient ruins where the angles are all wrong and giant, Cyclopean vaults just wait to be opened…

Critter Cache: Lovecraftian Bestiary features over 30 of your favorite Lovecraftian critters, including everyone’s favorite tentacular great old one. Here’s a peek at some of the monster entries you’ll find in the book:

Colour out of Space

Cthulhu

Deep One

Elder Thing

Flying Polyp

Ghoul, Lovecraftian

Great Race of Yith

Gug

Mi-Go

Nightgaunt

Shantak

Shoggoth

Nope, they're the same thing, but, yeah, I thought a lot about that. As those familiar with Lovecraft are certainly aware, he used the British spelling of some words, like colour, armour, and so on. I'm an American writing for an audience that is primarily American, so I went with the American spelling of color to be consistent.

But, I don't know, do you guys think I should stick with "colour" as a homage to ol' H.P.?

Well, seeing the American spelling on it struck me as odd, and I'm not even that into Lovecraft. I would think that most people interested in the product would have at least passing familiarity with Lovecraft and would understand?

Personally, I'd like it if you used all the British spellings Lovecraft used throughout the book, and put little note at the beginning for the people who don't understand why. But maybe that's just me.
